In honor of the snow, the cold, and having bested Turkey Day, I’ve switched it up here to a festive holiday theme, and to celebrate, enjoy this obnoxious and yet stunning 1871 tartan daydress, from Augusta Auctions:

The plaid doesn't match up at all – okay, I don't mind that so much – but there's this weird lime green ribbon added onto the sleeves that doesn't match at all, and in general it's quite weird. Blah! (but I would make something like it in a heartbeat, hahaha)
